12 <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he is supportive of this proposal. He said he did not hear the <br /> attorney say the Board could not do it, but just that the Board must be specific in the ordinance. <br /> He said being connected to contiguous open space could be required, unless it is not possible. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs referred to page 122-2-b3, and said the fire department used to <br /> be on the list, but is not anymore. He asked if there is a reason why the fire department is no <br /> longer included. <br /> Patrick Mallett said there are other elements and newer standards that may change <br /> these lists. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said being part of the process is where they came up with access <br /> to a water resource and increasing the density in an area being served. <br /> Patrick Mallett said part of that is covered with pedestrian oriented open space area, <br /> which says an area cannot be blocked off without providing access. <br /> Commissioner Price said when she was on the Planning Board they requested a Fire <br /> Marshal or an Emergency Services member to be part of their development advisory committee. <br /> Patrick Mallett said these departments are on the development advisory committee. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if all of these entities are on the committee. <br /> Patrick Mallett said for the most part these entities participate, and it is in another part of <br /> the ordinance. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said minor subdivisions do not require a public process, but a <br /> major subdivision does. He asked Patrick Mallett if this is correct. <br /> Patrick Mallett said yes. He said the main difference is that minor subdivisions are <br /> usually on family owned lands. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said his concern would echo what just happened with Ashwick, <br /> and that a minor subdivision will only come to the Board's notice when staff has already <br /> approved it, since it is a staff process. He said he is favor of the concept, but asked if there is a <br /> way to allow public involvement. <br /> Patrick Mallett said with a minor subdivision of five units there are not neighborhood <br /> meetings. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs clarified that a 12 lot minor subdivision would be different. <br /> Patrick Mallett said that is a valid point. He said staff routinely sees family land being cut <br /> up into minor subdivisions, and he said this needs to be a bit more controlled. He said the other <br /> scenario is two minor subdivisions, with five homes each, which have no public involvement. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said there should be a way to consider the feelings of the <br /> neighbors when these minor subdivisions are created. <br /> Michael Harvey said the motion could be amended to require a neighborhood meeting <br /> for any subdivision proposing more than five lots. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he is not trying to make things more difficult, but Michael <br /> Harvey's proposal would satisfy his concerns without adversely affecting a developer's <br /> streamlined process. <br /> Patrick Mallett said theoretically there could be a neighborhood informational meeting in <br /> the middle of the process, when a schematic plan can be shared. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said this proposal is a great step for the County, and helps <br /> preserve rural character. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said she is reluctant to say that open spaces must connect with <br /> existing streets. She said houses may be clustered in certain areas, and existing or planned <br /> streets may be way on the other side of the open space. She would not want to see a road <br /> going though the open space just to connect it to an existing road. <br /> Patrick Mallett said a flexible development gives the connotation that it is a case-by-case <br /> basis, and there can be a reasonable solution that does not force a situation that requires <br /> connecting to a road that may or may not be appropriate or used. <br />
